Peter, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, perceived the favour that was bestowed on me, they admitted me and Barnabas into fellowship, and agreed, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, for he was to be blamed.

but when I saw, they conformed not their conduct to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all: if you being a Jew, live after the manner of the Gentiles, and not according to that of the Jews, why do you constrain the Gentiles to judaize?

Now as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting their net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; the first is Simon, who is called Peter, then Andrew his brother,

Peter answered, Lord, said he, if it be you, bid me come upon the water to you.

Jesus said, come. and Peter getting out of the ship, walk'd on the water to go to Jesus.

PETER an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the foreigners dispers'd thro' Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, whom God the father has chosen in pursuance of his decree,

then Peter said to him, tell us the meaning of that expression.

Simon Peter made answer, thou art Christ the son of the living God.

and I tell thee likewise, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will hereafter build my church: and death shall not prevail against it.

then Peter taking him aside, began to expostulate with him, saying, God forbid, Sir, this should ever happen to you.

but he frown'd upon Peter, and said, out of my sight pernicious obstacle to my designs; your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine.

After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, in private to the top of a high mountain.

then Peter address'd himself to Jesus, Lord, said he, it is good for us to stay here: if you please, let us make three tabernacles here; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute for the temple came to Peter, and said, does not your master pay tribute?

Peter said, of others. Jesus answered, then are the children free.

Then Peter advancing to him, said, Lord, if my brother injures me, how many injuries must I forgive him? must I forgive him seven?

Then said Peter, but we, who have left every thing to follow thee; what advantage shall we get by it?

Simon Peter the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who equally share with us in the advantages of faith, thro' the veracity of our God, and of Jesus Christ.

Peter thereupon said, tho' all the rest should abandon you, I never will.

but Peter said, though it should cost me my life, I never will disown you. and so said all the disciples.

but he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be in a very great agony of grief.

then returning to the disciples, and finding them asleep, he said to Peter, what, could ye not watch by me one hour?

soon after they that stood by coming up, said to Peter, certainly you are one of them, for thy speech bewrays thee.

when Peter remembred what Jesus had said to him, "before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." and he went out, and wept bitterly.

these were Simon, whom he sirnam'd Peter, James the son of Zebedee,

and he suffered no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James:

but who, said he, do you take me to be? Peter answered, you are the Messiah:

and this he said in such an undisguised manner, that Peter took him aside, and pretended to reprimand him.

but Jesus return'd, and looking upon his disciples, he gave Peter this rebuke, be gone, thou adversary, your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine.

Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence.

then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, master, it is proper for us to be here: let us make therefore three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias.

Then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, you see we have left every thing to follow you.

Peter remembring the tree, said, master, see the fig-tree, which you cursed, is quite withered.

and when he was sitting upon the mount of Olives over-against the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew said to him in private, tell us,

upon which Peter said to him, tho' all should stagger, yet I will not.

but he took with him Peter, James, and John. then he began to be in a great consternation and anguish of mind. and he said to them; my soul is exceeding sorrowful,

Then he return'd, and having found them sleeping, he said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? could you not watch one hour?

Peter followed at a distance, even into the palace of the high priest: where he sat down among the servants to warm himself at the fire.

In the mean time Peter was in the entry of the hall, where one of the maids belonging to the high priest came:

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him, and said, you too was with Jesus the Nazarene.

but he denied it again. a little time after, they that stood by, still urg'd Peter, saying, you are certainly one of his disciples, for your speech shows you to be a Galilean.

and the cock crowed for the second time. then Peter calling to mind that expression of Jesus, "before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," he cover'd his head and wept.
